Pearl PALMASON,
Musician (1915-2006)
Daughter of Icelandic immigrants took childhood lessons from
her brother, Sandra
MARTIN writes. Later, she broke gender barriers
to become one of Canada's first female solo violinists and a
Toronto Symphony Orchestra concertmaster
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page▼ S7
This is a story about two women and a violin. In 2003, Judy
KANG
needed an instrument worthy of her prodigious talents. Pearl
PALMASON, a trailblazing musician who broke gender barriers at
the Toronto Symphony Orchestra back in the 1940s, could no longer
play her precious 1747 Gagliano violin to her own demanding standards.
She agreed to lend it to the Canada Council so that younger fingers
could make it sing.
"I've always wanted a warm, dark, deep quality in a violin,"
Ms. KANG, 26, said this week. She loved the sound of the Gagliano
and the way it made her feel when she was playing it. "It made
me think I could really push my limits."
Ms. PALMASON went to the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto to hear
Ms. KANG play during a competition and to watch the bow being
passed from one dedicated player to another. But Ms.
KANG was
far from the only female musician to be touched by Ms.
PALMASON
through her long career as a violinist.
"I saw her when I was seven years old at Maple Leaf Gardens at
a concert with Fritz Kreisel as the soloist," said violinist
Andrea HANSEN. "I couldn't take my eyes off this redhead -- this
beautiful regal person -- sitting there in a flowing black gown
playing the violin with the Toronto Symphony. I was just smitten."
It was 1947 and Ms.
HANSEN, who had already been playing the
violin for four years, knew what she wanted to do for a career.
Nearly 30 years later, the two women became neighbours, Friends
and colleagues in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. "We were the
only two Scandinavian ones in the orchestra," said Ms.
HANSEN
who is of Finnish descent. "I was even more in awe then because
of the kind of person she was. She opened the door for the rest
of us."
Pearl PALMASON was born during the First World War in Winnipeg.
She was the third of four children of Icelandic immigrants Sveinn
and Growa PALMASON (née
SVEINNSDOTTIR.)
Her architect father
prospered in construction, but the Depression wiped him out financially
and the family moved to a farm.
No matter how stretched they were, the
PALMASONs always found
money for violin lessons for their eldest son Palmi, who was
six years older than Pearl. He studied with the violin builder
and teacher Olafur Thorsteinsson in Husavick, Manitoba, and then
with John Waterhouse in Winnipeg before becoming a member of
the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
Palmi would walk five miles home from his lessons and then teach
everything he had learned to his little sister Pearl. From the
time she was nine years old, she was officially her brother's
student, acquiring both her Associate, Toronto Conservatory of
Music and Licentiate, Royal Schools of Music qualifications and
winning four medals from the Toronto Conservatory of Music for
having the highest examination marks in the country.
They both performed at the Manitoba Music Competition Festival
in Winnipeg and played with what would later be called the Winnipeg
Symphony Orchestra.
"My uncle Palmi would perform very respectably and get high marks,
but never win, and Pearl always won in her class, and she would
win overall," said her niece Valerie
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON.
She was awarded
both the Rose Bowl and
an Aikens Memorial Trophy and won a scholarship
at age 18 to study for three years with Elie
SPIVAK, concertmaster
of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and a teacher at the Royal
Conservatory of Music.
In the late 1930s she went to England to study with Carl Flesch,
the Hungarian-born violinist and also played solo concerts in
Iceland in 1938 and
in London. Years later she described Mr.
Flesch as "a genius with the violin but not in his practical
life." She also complained that he "had pupils from all over
the world and he wiped the floor with every one of them."
She returned to Toronto when the Second World War broke out and
studied briefly with Kathleen
PARLOW, before moving to New York
to be instructed by Demetrious Dounis. She found him secretive
and mysterious. "You went in one door and out through another,"
she remembered. Apparently, concert masters studied privately
with him and didn't want anybody to know so "it was very hush-hush."
In 1941, she left New York and joined the Toronto Symphony Orchestra
at $25 a week for a five-month season. "The burning question,"
she said later, "was how to survive the other seven months of
the year and pay the rent." Even so, she managed to find the
money to buy a violin made in 1666, that had previously been
owned by violinist Alexander Chuhaldin, and was thought (incorrectly)
to be a Stradivarius.
Ms. PALMASON was married in the 1940s, after she joined the Toronto
Symphony Orchestra, and supported her husband who lived in New
York and studied with her former teacher, Dr. Dounis. By all
accounts, the marriage was disastrous and quickly ended. On September
19, 1948, she performed a solo recital at the Town Hall in New
York. "A metropolitan debut of promise," concluded the Musical
Courier.
She considered pursuing a career as a concert violinist, but
decided against it, partly because, as she said later, "you have
to be absolutely great to be a concert performer and I knew I
wasn't." There was another reason: the loneliness of the long-distance
concert circuit. "I wouldn't have all this -- my home, my possessions
and my Friends around me."
Essentially, Ms.
PALMASON chose career over marriage in an era
when it was extremely difficult to have both. "In those days,
what happened to women violin soloists was that they got married
and had children. Their career was put on hold for a while and
then they tried to make a comeback, but it was never the same,"
she said in an interview in the 1950s.
Instead, she built a life around music, travel, a huge circle
of Friends and her sister Ruby's children. "When my mother died,
Pearl made the announcement that she now had three children,"
said her niece Valerie
THOMPSON/THOMSON/TOMPSON/TOMSON. "We were all past the age of
majority, but she said she was adopting us."
By the mid 1950s, she was one of eight women playing with the
Toronto Symphony Orchestra and was the first female to serve
as assistant concert master and to slip into the senior role
when her male colleague Hyman
GOODMAN was unavailable. From 1960
to 1962, she played principal second violin. She also played
with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Symphony (after having
confronted the conductor about his male-only hiring policy),
the Singing Stars Orchestra, the Hart House Orchestra and the
York Concert Society group.
An article by Florence
SCHILL in The Globe and Mail in October
of 1954, under the tag "Earning a Living," focused on Ms.
PALMASON.
The column began by quoting Sir Thomas Beecham (1879-1961). Apparently,
the famous British conductor liked to explain the paucity of
women in his orchestra by saying: "If they're pretty, they bother
the men; if they aren't, they bother me."
Jack ELTON, manager of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, denied
there was discrimination against women. "We have never said:
Let's not take her because she's a woman -- especially if they
look like Pearl." And she was definitely a looker, with flaming
red hair, usually called Titian in newspaper clippings from the
era, striking blue eyes and luscious red lips.
In 1960, she bought the Gennaro Gagliano violin with the rich
velvet sound for $3,500 (U.S.) -- about the price of a new car
at the time, according to violin-maker and restorer Ric
HEINL
of the Toronto firm George Heinl and Co. It was made in Naples,
Italy, in 1747 by Gennaro Gagliano, who was arguably the best
in a large family of expert violin-makers.
A salesman for the Rembrandt Wurlitzer company in New York brought
the violin to Toronto to show to a potential client, who declined
to purchase it. Ms.
PALMASON fell in love with it "at first play"
and insisted the instrument wasn't going back, according to Mr.
HEINL.
The violin is now insured for $220,000.
After her farewell concert in front of 10,000 people at Ontario
Place in August of 1981, she told The Globe that she had "spent
more of my life at Massey Hall than at home." Although she had
reached retirement age, she had no intention of putting her violin
away. She played with the Canadian Opera Company orchestra from
1981 to 1985, and continued to teach privately, play with chamber
groups, give recitals with her string group. In 1987 she became
concertmaster of the Oakville Symphony Orchestra.
Ms. PALMASON lived in a spacious home in North Toronto until
the mid-to-late 1990s when she moved into a large retirement
condominium with her Boesendorfer piano and her beloved violins.
She continued to have "drinkie winkies" (Beefeater gin with a
splash of tonic and one ice cube) with Friends and gave at least
two concerts in her condo for her neighbours.
She practised every day, but after she broke her ankle in 2002,
life became harder. After she agreed to lend her Gagliano to
the Canada Council instrument bank, she played every day on her
"second" violin. A year ago in January, Ms.
KANG, who had been
sending Ms.
PALMASON letters regularly, paid the woman she calls
"her angel" a visit. "She was very warm and very sweet," Ms.
KANG said. "It was really moving to see her playing the violin,"
she said, and "inspiring to see somebody who loves music so much
that she plays every day just to have it in her life."
Pearl PALMASON was born on October 2, 1915, in Winnipeg. She
died in Toronto of heart failure on February 17, 2006, after
having suffered a stroke in September. She was 90. She is survived
by a niece, two nephews and their families.

Storm topples tree on woman
By Jennifer
O'BRIEN and Kate
DUBINSKI, Free Press Reporters,
Fri., October 13, 2006
Filomena PALMEIRI shelters herself with a blanket from a howling
snow squall yesterday. She was watching her son's football team
from Mother Teresa high school battling the Saint Thomas Aquinas
high school team at Aquinas's field in London. (Dave
CHIDLEY,
The London Free Press)
Yesterday's unexpected snowsqualls and wind gusts broke a large
tree that fell on and seriously injured an elderly woman.
It was just one of many calls paramedics faced yesterday because
of slick roads and weather-related injuries.
The elderly woman was walking along Central Avenue near Wellington
Street when the tree fell.
"She sustained extensive internal injuries," said Middlesex-London
EmergencyMedicalServices duty manager Chris
DARBY.
"She was not trapped under the tree, but she was under a branch.
Paramedics were able to immobilize her and treat her before transporting
her" to hospital.
The woman was simply "in the wrong place at the wrong time,"
DARBY said.
Accidents occurred throughout the day, including one at Adelaide
and Oxford streets, where a vehicle crashed into a former bank
building, DARBY said.
The injuries in that crash were not serious.
A car crash southeast of London that claimed the life of a 27-year-old
Langton woman also was blamed on slick and snow-covered roads.
Norfolk County Ontario Provincial Police said the driver of a
minivan that slid into oncoming traffic on Concession Road 2
in the former Houghton Township near Tillsonburg died from her
injuries.
Jaclyn SZALKAI, 27, of Langton, was pronounced dead in a Tillsonburg
hospital after the 2 p.m. crash. Ontario Provincial Police said
snow and slush-covered roads contributed to the crash.
Another crash south of London sent a minivan driver to hospital
with minor injuries. The driver in that crash T-boned a dump
truck, which slid into the opposite lane of traffic.
The truck driver steered his vehicle back into the southbound
lane of Highbury Avenue near Westminster Drive and wasn't injured.
He was on his way home because he'd been told Highway 401 was
too slick to work on.
The fall blast of snow caused havoc elsewhere in London yesterday.
Blinded by the snow, University of Western Ontario students,
many in T-shirts, raced for the nearest cover.
The first squall dismayed students taking part in a Bike for
A.I.D.S. bike-athon outside Western's University Community Centre.
"Oh no, this was not supposed to happen," groaned organizer Samantha
ROBERTSON, holding an arm over her face to block the wind as
balloons danced behind her and jugs holding donations tipped
over.
"What the hell is going on?" shrieked a woman, head down as she
plowed through a white wall of snow.
"Um, Okay folks, we are just going to break for a few minutes
here and reassess the situation," announced the lead singer of
a band that had been playing on a stage.
While organizers did so, students ran in all directions, often
bumping into one another in the scramble.
But not even wintry weather could break the spirit of the 150 people
participating in the bike-athon, designed to raise money to buy
bikes for workers with African A.I.D.S. agencies.
"Well, I guess it's a tradition," Jackie
STRECKER said. "The
first year we ran it in April and it snowed, so this year we
moved it to October, and look at this."
Though the snow may have come as a surprise to most people, it
isn't really out of the ordinary, an Environment Canada meteorologist
said.
"This time of year, the air masses travel across the Great Lakes….
You're warm, then the next day you're cold. That's the way it
goes," Andre Cyr said.
Yesterday's snowsqualls came to southern Ontario after crossing
Lake Michigan and tossed about one centimetre of snow onto London.
That's far from the record, said Cyr, citing a 6.8-centimetre
dump on October 12, 1988.
Flurries are expected to return tonight when the low dips to
-2°C. Highs for the next few days will be in the high single
digits, well below the normal high for this time of year of 14.9°C.
Analynda MIELKE and Bill
CHERNIAK of University of Western Ontario's
Triathlon Club were at the bottom of a hill when the snow hit.
"It was really, really intense," said
MIELKE, her face wet.
Though wacky weather may have cut into on-site donations for
the event, organizers of the bikeathon still hoped to reach their
$10,000 goal,
STRECKER said. Each of 14 teams paid $200 to take
part and a charity party was planned for last night.
Last year the event raised $7,500, which bought about 32 bikes
to be sent to A.I.D.S. workers in Africa.

PALMER,
DoctorJohn▼Dickinson
Much loved husband of Diana, father of Susan, Heather, John,
Diana, and Ann, and grandfather to Diana, Ian, John, Matthew,
Jess, Madelaine, Katie, and Jane, died aged 89 on 17 April, 2006
after a notable career in medicine and active retirement on Salt
Spring Island, including a period on the board of Greenwoods
elderly care facility (where, fittingly, he passed away). John,
a specialist in cancer care, was a distinguished surgeon at Montreal
General Hospital from the 1950s until his retirement. He also
taught at McGill University, and was at one time team physician
for the Montreal Canadians. Outside medicine, he was a lifelong
learner, always immersed in a new book; a surprisingly talented
painter and accordion player; a keen outdoorsman; and of course
a sportsman, into tennis, golf, and in his early days, hockey.
John was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick,
son of John Dickinson
PALMER, a noted shoe manufacturer (Hart,) and Florence (Bappy)
JARDINE, of the Jardine shipping family. After Fredericton High
School, he completed an arts degree at University of New Brunswick
before studying medicine at McGill University, where he also
found time to play hockey for the McGill Redmen. His medical
career path was interrupted by the 2nd World War, in which he
served as a medical officer in the Canadian Navy before being
seconded to the British Navy. It was on shore leave at Esquimault,
Victoria, that he met Diana
HETT, a British Columbia rancher's
daughter, and so began a romance that was to last over 60 years.
John and Diana moved to Salt Spring Island permanently in 1986.
Typically, in retirement John was a well known figure in the
island's tennis, golf, and bridge communities. The family would
like to express their heart-felt thanks to the extraordinary
care and kindness of the staff at Greenwoods during John's final
illness. For those who wish to remember John, donations to Greenwoods
Elder Care Society, 133 Blain Road, Salt Spring Island, British
Columbia, V8K 1Z9, would be gratefully appreciated.

could only be enhanced by a steak and draught at the Midtown

Helen ALLEN,
Journalist (1907-2006)
She laboured for decades to improve the lot of unwanted children,
many of whom were better off because of her efforts, writes Sandra
MARTIN. At the end of the Vietnam War she also helped rescue
orphans in Saigon
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page▲S11
The concept may seem bizarre today, but in its era, the Toronto
newspaper column Today's Child was an innovative force intended
to improve the lives of thousands of emotionally needy and often
physically damaged children. In the early 1960s, back in the
days when having a child "out of wedlock" was socially unacceptable
and before reliable contraception or abortions were generally
available, many young women gave their unplanned babies up for
adoption. The ranks of healthy infants were swelled by older
children who had been abandoned by parents unable or unwilling
to raise their own offspring or who had been removed from dangerous
situations. Many of these "hard-to-place" children trundled from
one foster home to another or marked birthday after birthday
in orphanages and other residential institutions.
Helen ALLEN, a journalist who became a crusader for adoption,
believed that all children deserved parents and a home to call
their own. For nearly 20 years, she devoted her energies to the
task through her column Today's Child in The Telegram in Toronto
and the long-running television program Family Finder. Although,
nobody knows for certain how many of these adoptions were successful,
there is enough anecdotal evidence to suggest that many, many
children were happier and healthier because of Ms.
ALLEN's actions.
"Some social workers were very reluctant at the thought of exposing
children to the public in this way, because it was an invasion
of privacy, but I was all for it," recalled Victoria
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH, a
former social worker and adoption supervisor who knew first-hand
the dire circumstances of these children's lives. She and Ms.
ALLEN
became colleagues and good Friends, sharing the same dedication
and sense of humour.
The late media mogul John
BASSETT, who was the last publisher
of The Telegram, considered Ms.
ALLEN's long-running adoption
column "her real life's work." Ms.
ALLEN "has helped this country
enormously by giving new hope and new opportunities to the nation's
richest resource, our children," he wrote in a tribute to her
in 1982, and "nothing has given me greater pride than being associated
with her in this task."
Helen Kathleen
ALLEN was born near Saskatoon, the only child
of a Presbyterian minister and a school teacher. The family eventually
settled in Aurora, north of Toronto, as her father moved from
one congregation to another. He died of meningitis when Helen
was five and her mother worked as a supply teacher to support
them both. Ms.
ALLEN later described her childhood as happy,
although she regretted that there was never enough money to buy
her a bicycle. It was only much later that she looked back as
an adult and realized that "it's too bad to be an only child,
too bad not to have a Dad."
After graduating from high school in 1925, Ms.
ALLEN moved to
Toronto to do a four-year degree in modern languages (French
and German) at University College at the University of Toronto.
By then, her widowed mother had married a man named
PALMER, so
Ms. ALLEN boarded with a family named
GRIFFITHS while she attended
university, financed with $2000 from her mother's savings. That's
how she met the
GRIFFITHS' daughter, Phyllis, who became a classmate,
then a journalism colleague and a dear friend and housemate until
she died more than 50 years later in 1978.
At U of T, Ms.
ALLEN joined the German club, which turned out
to be a lively collection of people, including professors Geoffrey
HOLT and Barker
FAIRLEY, who got together on a weekly basis to
sing German songs. An older cousin, who worked on the student
newspaper, The Varsity, introduced Ms.
ALLEN to the editor, a
young man named Charles
STACEY. (A year older, he was destined
for a stellar career as a military historian and became very
well known as a biographer of Prime Minister Mackenzie King.)
"Somehow I found myself accepting an assignment to cover a freshie
tea that first week. It showed up on the front page, without
a word changed, and I was hooked," she presciently told Judith
ADAM/ADAMS, the author of the 1982 Ontario government publication,
Today's Child and Helen
ALLEN.
After graduating in 1929, Ms.
ALLEN went to work as a reporter
for The Telegram, a newspaper founded in 1876 by John Ross
ROBERTSON
as a vehicle to promote British and Imperial sentiments. For
the next three decades, Ms.
ALLEN did general assignment reporting,
reviewed movies, covered political events and criminal trials,
and edited the women's pages. In covering the 1939 Royal Tour
of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth she wrote: "Everyone who
has seen her is talking about the Queen. The Queen's smile. The
Queen's charm. The Queen's beauty. The Queen's lovely gowns."
What made her name, however, was an assignment that she took
on reluctantly in 1964 to write an adoption column for the paper.
Instead of being the brainchild of one person, the idea came
about as a confluence of incidents, experience and inspiration
dating back to the early 1960s when The Telegram ran a front-page
story about a young boy being publicly beaten by his father on
a downtown street corner. Publisher John
BASSETT assigned reporter
Andrew MacFARLANE to investigate and write an article on child
abuse.
Mr. MacFARLANE contacted the office of Doctor James
BAND, the deputy
minister of welfare in Ontario, who supplied huge amounts of
information on child protection services and took Mr.
MacFARLANE
to visit an orphanage which housed dozens of children three years
of age and under. Mr.
MacFARLANE quickly realized that many of
these children had short attention spans, played aggressively,
and, despite being "cuddled" by volunteers, appeared lacking
in warmth and curiosity. Both men believed these children needed
families and permanent homes, if they were to have any chance
of growing up emotionally healthy.
In 1964, Doctor
BAND sought out Mr.
MacFARLANE, who by then was
The Telegram's managing editor, and suggested he run an "advertising"
feature to make the public aware of the plight of these forgotten
children. Both Mr.
MacFARLANE and Mr.
BASSETT took up the idea
enthusiastically and assigned the column to Ms.
ALLEN, telling
her to contact the more than 50 regional Children's Aid Societies
that operated in Ontario under the Child Welfare Act, find some
children who were waiting for families, and run their pictures
and write about them in the paper. The plan was to run Today's
Child for a few weeks and check the response.
Children's Aid Societies, which are protective by definition,
were largely horrified at the idea of parading children, along
with their physical and emotional problems, in a public newspaper.
To them, the column reeked of "freak shows" at carnivals. Only
three were willing to participate -- Hamilton, Kenora and Toronto.
Although disappointing, the response was strong enough to give
Ms. ALLEN enough children to produce a daily column for three
weeks.
The first child was a 15-month-old girl of mixed race named Hope,
a difficult placement in those homogeneous days before the immigration
rules relaxed and Canada had an official multiculturalism policy.
Nevertheless, 40 prospective adoptive parents wrote in response
to the story about Hope. Their letters were passed along to the
Children's Aid Society for screening, assessing and processing.
"I wrote abut 23 children in those first Today's Child columns
that summer," Ms.
ALLEN recalled years later, "and when the results
were finally assessed, 18 of those youngsters found homes."
After three years of daily columns, Today's Child expanded to
other daily and weekly papers throughout Ontario. The following
year, Ms. ALLEN proposed doing a television version of the column
based on the daily Ben Hunter Program in California, which delivered
commercials for a variety of products, saving one day a week
for children wanting to be adopted. Armed with a tape of the
American show, Ms.
ALLEN and Victoria
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH, then Ontario Adoption
Co-ordinator, approached CFTO, the Toronto television station
that was part-owned by Mr.
BASSETT. "It took them all of 15 minutes
to make up their minds," Ms.
ALLEN reported later. Family Finder,
which ran commercial-free, debuted in the fall of 1968 and for
years was the longest-running program on the channel.
When The Telegram folded in 1971, the Ontario government hired
Ms. ALLEN as an information officer in the Ministry of Community
and Social Services. She continued to write the column three
times a week (which was syndicated by the government to more
than 20 daily newspapers including The Toronto Star), do the
television program and speak about adoption to community and
service groups.
In the early 1970s, television and newspaper reporting from Vietnam
publicized the plight of many of the children who had become
victims of the continuing conflict. The orphanages in Saigon
were overflowing with abandoned or parentless children. Social
changes, including a declining birth rate, had put an end to
the baby surplus of a decade before. That fact, plus the human
desire to help needy children, had lots of North Americans flying
to Vietnam and trying to pick up babies in exchange for cash
or services.
The local adoption agencies were floundering, so the Ontario
Ministry of Social and Community Services sent Victoria
LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH
and Ms. ALLEN to Saigon to work with the Vietnamese. As the Viet
Cong advanced and the Americans pulled out, the two women rescued
close to 60 children, brought them to Canada and found homes
for them. "The deputy minister told me, 'if we are going to do
this, we will give it the same service we give our own children,'
Ms. LEACH/LEECH/LEITCH said.
Ms. ALLEN received many honours, including being named to the
Order of Canada and an honorary doctorate from York University
and the Award of Merit from the City of Toronto. In the late
1970s, she was at an Order of Canada reception when she encountered
fellow laureate and University of Toronto military historian
Charles STACEY. "
When I was at college, I dated Charles, who
was then editor of the Varsity. He was in fourth year and I was
in second," she told Ms.
ADAM/ADAMS. "He went off to Oxford and then
Princeton; I went on to the Tely as a reporter."
Ms. ALLEN and Colonel
STACEY, a widower, renewed their Friendship
and their affection for each other and were married in a small
wedding at St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Toronto on October 3,
1980. The bride was 73, and the groom 74. A little more than
a year later, she officially retired from Today's Child (Judith
ADAM/ADAMS took over the column for another seven years) and Family
Finder, but continued to spend two days a week answering mail
and writing Adoption Bulletins while her husband wrote his books.
The STACEYs were a very companionable couple. They loved to entertain
at small dinner parties at Massey College, to read Jane Austen
novels aloud to each other and to travel. Col.
STACEY died suddenly
of a heart attack in November of 1989, after nearly a decade
of marriage. She continued to live in their Rosedale apartment
until she suffered a heart attack and a fall late in 2002, and
moved into the Leaside Retirement Residence.
Helen Kathleen
ALLEN was born in Dundurn, Saskatchewan., on August
16, 1907. She died in Toronto of congestive heart failure on
November 9. She was 99. Predeceased by her husband Charles
STACEY
and by her dear friend Phyllis
GRIFFITHS, she is survived by
her god-daughter Nadine
BELL and her family.
